Caroline,

First, take a deep breath. Now, look at my signature. My husband was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer and he is here today, 5 years later with no evidence of disease. People with dire diagnoses do survive this disease all the time.

The fact that you have an appointment with an ENT on Monday is good news given that we see people who are put off for a month or two. I know it is scary but your ENT should suggest a biopsy if the area in his mouth indicates it. Get those results and then we will guide you to the best places for treatment. One day at a time here and know that it is not cancer until the biopsy says it is.

Hugs, Deb
